"I can't wait to get back and see my girls." Turles sat down in the captain's seat and began a systems check.
"You think Vegeta asked Bulma about your daughter yet? The poor guy has been putting it off for long enough." Nappa chuckled.
Turles and Raditz chuckled along with Nappa. The only silent person in the cabin was Goku, who was leaning moodily against the back wall, scowling at the back of Turles' head.
As they continued to laugh and joke, Goku slipped silently out the door and made his way back to his room.
It was getting too hard for him to be in the same room as Turles for long periods of time. Every time he caught sight of his twin, Goku had the overwhelming urge to throw himself at him and tear his throat out.
Goku closed his eyes and moaned in the back of his throat. All he wanted was Bulma! She was all he thought about, all he dreamt about…It was killing him!
It didn't help that right next door was the man who she shared her bed with, the man who she had a daughter with…
Goku slumped against the wall. He couldn't take it anymore; he had to have Bulma as his mate.
He needed her.

Vegeta watched as his men disembarked the ship. Turles strode out first, supremely confident as always. Raditz and Nappa followed after, apparently arguing amongst themselves again. Finally, Kakarot slunk out and trailed after the others.
Vegeta noted the shadows under his eyes, his pale skin, and the way he avoided the others like the plague.
Bulma appeared in the docking bay and threw herself into Turles' arms, not noticing Kakarot staring at her with a desperate hunger in his eyes.
Vegeta sighed and turned away from the window. It was obvious that Kakarot wouldn't be able to hold out on his Saiyan instincts for much longer. Sooner or later he'd initiate a battle between himself and Turles, and Vegeta dreaded what the outcome might be.
He hurried down to the docking bay and caught up with Kakarot, who was still staring at Bulma and Turles as they headed back to their room.
"Kakarot."
Kakarot turned around sharply and looked at Vegeta with fevered eyes. "It hurts."
Vegeta nodded; they both knew what Goku was talking about.
"Every time I see her with him it hurts…I can't take it! I know I promised, but…but I have to have her!" Kakarot came closer to Vegeta. "I need her so much!"
"Just relax, Kakarot." Vegeta tried to calm the larger Saiyan down. "You have to let her go…"
"No!" Kakarot growled, his eyes flashing with anger. "I won't let him near her anymore…I'm the one whose supposed to be with her! Me! Not him!"
"Kakarot!" Vegeta silenced Kakarot with a deadly look. "You have to let go of this bond or it'll kill you! I can't understand why you won't let it go when it does this to you!"
"Why? You want to know why I won't let her go?" Kakarot strode closer to Vegeta. "Because I love her! That's why! I love her!"
Vegeta was silent for a moment. "If you mean that, then there's nothing I can do or say that'll change your mind about this."
"That's what I've been telling you all along." Kakarot slumped against a wall for support. "I know you think I've been doing this out of a need for revenge…and I'll admit that originally that was my plan, but I…I do love her! I've always loved her, Vegeta, just never this much."
"You know…if you kill Turles, you'll kill Bulma."
Kakarot looked up at Vegeta with grim determination on his face. "You're forgetting that I also have my mark on Bulma, and I'm not going to let Turles drag her to her grave without a fight."

"I missed you so much!" Bulma kissed Turles as he put his grinning daughter back down in the playpen.
"I missed you, too." Turles caught Bulma in his arms and pulled her close against his body. "But now that I'm back…"
As Turles leant down to kiss Bulma, the door chime sounded and with a reluctant sigh he pulled away again.
"There's always something to interrupt us, isn't their?" Turles grinned at Bulma as he walked over and opened the door.
Bulma turned back to tend to their daughter when the sound of Goku's voice reached her ears. Warily, Bulma put her daughter back down and slowly made her way to Turles, who was still standing in the doorway, staring stonily into Goku's face.
"Goku? What are you…?"
"You never told him, did you?" Goku cut Bulma off, his eyes never leaving Turles' face. "You never told him about us, did you?" He tore his gaze from Turles and turned it on Bulma. "Why didn't you tell him?" His stare became almost accusatory and Bulma shivered as she felt Goku's power level begin to rise.
This wasn't good.
"Goku, what are you talking about?" Bulma took a step closer to Turles and swallowed.
"Yeah…what are you talking about?" Turles' power lever began to rise as well when he registered the depth of Goku's anger.
"What am I talking about?" Goku threw back his head and laughed, then, in a blur of movement, he stepped forward and jerked the neckline of Bulma's shirt down to expose the bite mark. "I'm talking about this!"
"What about it? That's my bite mark…"
"Is it?" Goku sneered. "Maybe if you looked a little closer you'd see that there are two bite marks their, not just one."
"What?" Turles turned and looked at Bulma. Through their link he could detect her unease and fear. With hands that showed none of his inner turmoil, he pulled her shirt away from the bite mark and looked closely at it.
Turles felt his breath catch as very, very faintly he saw the outline of a faint bite mark which was overlaid on top of his.
"What's wrong? You don't look too happy." Goku's eyes were wide with anticipation of a fight.
"Bulma?" Turles was aware that his hurt was showing in his eyes, but it was impossible to mask his emotion. "How did this happen?"
"I thought he was you…It happened not long after we'd arrived here. Nothing happened, I swear, he just bit me and when I realized that it was Goku and not you I…"
"I can guess what you did." Turles looked down into Bulma's swirling blue eyes and felt his momentary anger at her fade. He could feel through the bond that she loved him; that she wouldn't cheat on him with any other man. Turles turned his attention to Goku, who was watching them both with a look of anticipation on his face.
"If you were expecting me to hurt Bulma, then you're going to be let down," Turles snarled at his brother, who merely smirked at him. "All I want to do right now is take you down!"
"Bring it on." Goku smirked.
"Please, don't do this!" Bulma put a hand up to Turles' chest as he went to move forward. "This is what he wants you to do!"
"Well, this is what I want to do, too! He tried to steal you! Tried to steal my mate!" Turles pulled Bulma close and kissed her, breathing in her scent as he did so.
Finally, Turles pulled away and Bulma gasped for breath, fear causing her wide blue eyes to darken.
Turles had only kissed her so possessively once before…
~*~FLASHBACK~*~
Bulma was thrown to the ground with the force of the explosion, the air was knocked out of her chest and bright spots danced in front of her eyes. Her chest felt as though bands of steel were wrapped around it and for several minutes she couldn't seem to breathe. She dug her fingernails into the ground in panic and desperately tries to suck in air, managing only to draw a tiny gasp into her lungs as her heart beat thudded loudly in her ears.
Bulma lay still on the ground until the panic and fear faded and she could breath more easily again. Then she cautiously dragged herself into a crouch and looked about her.
The ki blast from the Saiyan had knocked her several meters from where she had been standing when he had attacked. The only question was…where was the Saiyan now?
Bulma glanced around her, but the air was still swirling with dust and it was hard to see even a foot in front of her. Carefully, she crept forward a few meters, wincing at how loud each movement she made seemed to be.
A sound to the left caught Bulma's attention and she saw a shape lumbering towards her from out of the mist. Bulma knew it wasn't the Saiyan himself; it was one of his lower men…no doubt sent in to finish her off.
Bulma took a deep, calming breath and backed away from the shape. If he saw her, it would be all over, the only hope she had was that he wouldn't notice her as she sneaked off.
Bulma continued to back away until, with a thud, she backed right into another person. With a small gasp she spun around and almost choked with relief when she was who it was.
"Goku? It's really you! You came to help us!" She threw herself into his arms, unaware of the surprised look that briefly flashed across the handsome Saiyan's face.
"Goku?" The Saiyan's voice was a deep, amused rumble. "I can assure you, little one, that I am not Goku."
Bulma pulled back and stared in shock at the man who stood before her. Even with the dust still swirling around them she knew it had to be Goku! He looked just like Goku, he even had the hair! Then Bulma caught sight of the tail, which was wrapped tight around his waist, and the world seemed to rock around her.
"Oh, no…" She took a staggering step away from the strange Saiyan male, who was watching her with amusement.
"And where do you think you're going?" He caught up to her in a few steps and, easily overcoming her struggle, pulled her close to him again. Plastering her body against his. "You don't think I'm going to let a delectable little piece of meat like you get away with bumping into me without even an apology, do you?"
Bulma couldn't force a single word out of her throat as he looked down into her face and slowly lowered his head to hers, claiming her lips in a fiery kiss, breathing in her scent as he plundered her mouth…
~*~END FLASHBACK~*~
"Turles…?" Bulma looked uncertainly up in his face. "Please, tell me you're not going to do this!"
"I have to fight for what's mine, Bulma." Turles gently traced a hand down her cheek, aware of Goku's unhappy presence behind him. "No matter what happens, you know that I love you. I always did. From the very first moment I met you."
